HOWTO: Determine LDAP Name For Exchange Server Objects

• Microsoft Exchange Server, versions 5.0, 5.5

SUMMARY

When using ADSI and LDAP to query the Exchange Server directory you need to provide the name of the object attribute that you want to retrieve.

MORE INFORMATION

To determine what the LDAP name of the object attribute is, follow these steps:

1. Run the Exchange admin program in raw mode. For example, if Admin.exe file exists under "C:\Exchsrvr\bin" directory, run the following command in the Command Prompt:

   
   C:\exchsrvr\bin\admin.exe -r 




2. From the View menu, select the Raw folder.



3. In the left-pane, double-click on the Schema object.



4. In the right-pane, double-click on the Exchange server object that you are wanting to determine the LDAP name for. For example, double-click on Serial-Number.



5. The attribute value of the Description is the name you should use with LDAP. For example, the description and LDAP name for Serial-Number is serialNumber.
